Before going to Gulf Breeze Recovery I was in a very low spot in my lifeMonths before I had lost my job, relationships, my apartment, etcI blamed everything on my drinking which led me to drink even moreA few days before coming to GBR I was put into the ICU unit at the hospital with a blood alcohol content of point To say the least I needed help Unfortunately, the other rehab center that I had tried before didn't help At Gulf Breeze I learned that alcohol was just a symptom of an underlying problem that I really had never faced before(My own thinking and insecurities) Figuring out that I'm creating my own experience means that I can be as happy or as miserable as I want because I am the one decidingJust that awareness has made me want to stay sharp Now I never really think about wanting to drink, which I would have thought impossibleThat is just one simple explanation of the many different things I learned while in recovery I use to have so many regrets about the things I did in the pastAnd sure there are still things I wish I had done differentBut without the mistakes I made I would have never gone to Gulf Breeze and learned about their Health Recovery Principles which has changed my life foreverGulf Breeze Recovery is a recovery facility for drugs and alcohol; however, it could be for any kind of addiction I would recommend Gulf Breeze Recovery to anyone struggling with addictionIt saved my lifeI am forever grateful!!
As the year anniversary approaches to my daughterâ s sobriety, I feel the need to share what a life changing experience Gulf Breeze Recovery was for both her and my family Like so many people and families you hear about or know about we were in turmoil from the life that my daughter was leading It had reached a point that we all knew was a breaking point I had never dealt with anything like this, didnâ t know where to even begin A friend of mine mentioned they had heard a radio commercial just that morning for Gulf Breeze Recovery So I hit the Google Search bar and found them Honestly I was afraid and embarrassed as I dialed the number How do you verbally say, my child is an addict and needs help that I canâ t offer? It was one of the hardest phone calls I have ever made [redacted] answered my call and he answered all my questions, all the while making me feel full of hope They worked with my insurance and with me to get over that last hurdle that as a single mom of three was a pretty big one I went home told her we were going and we left the next day and we have, as a family, moved forward every day since that day My daughter is back, my real daughter, and she has risen past those dark and dreary days We were very lucky as this was our first place to try and we couldnâ t have asked for anything more perfect I know that other programs would have never been so successful It is with all my heart that I say THANK YOU and that I recommend Gulf Breeze [redacted] **
Using drugs nowadays would be a real buzz kill Since leaving Gulf Breeze Recovery I've found a happiness and peace in my life that is better than the best drink I ever had, or drug I ever used I thought life without using would be dull and ordinary and couldn't imagine not having the next "high" to look forward to if I stopped all my use Truth is, using IS fun and exciting That's what we do it for right? I mean, who would ever use drugs or drink if it wasn't great at first? Using makes you feel good, covers up insecurities, pain, fear, and makes life enjoyable and carefree All of these things are true until you eventually and unavoidably hit(to use Pink Floyd's album name)..."The Wall" Anyone who uses long enough like I did will certainly come in contact with "The Wall" that begins to block every benefit that we thought "getting our buzz on" had to offer If you're reading this...You know what I'm talking about! "The Wall" of built up tolerance where more and more is required "The Wall" that stops and blocks friendships, family relationships, success at work or school, and continuity of hobbies and activities we once found peaceful and rewarding without help from any kind of substance"The Wall" that halts our ability to enjoy the "little things" and the simple pleasures that life has to offer us every moment if we are just open to it If we can live in the"now" without the clutter of all our thoughts surrounding not only our substance abuse, but all of our thinking that comes from an ego based self that thrives and stays alive through petty comparisons to others, fear of losing something, "being right", having beliefs, and living in a past and/or future that is only a projected illusion If any of this sounds absurd to you, then I know my writing is on the right track for you Something inside you knows there's some truth here When Gulf Breeze Recovery taught me that every feeling and experience I have in my life comes from my own ability to create with my own thinking, I was caught off guard tooHow could that be? I'm years old and have lived my whole life believing that all the events and circumstances outside of me determined how I felt, what kind of day I had, who was to blame, what mood I was in, and how happy or unhappy I was How dare they tell ME that I've been doing this to myself all these years! How dare they tell me that I'm in control of how I feel about........wait a minute.....I'm in control of how I feel and all of my experiences in life?........And there it was....the truth that had been in front of me my whole life, so simple, yet so elusive I was supposed to be looking inside for every answer for myselfIt all starts there What an insight...what a liberating discovery.....what an Inside/Out Revolution for me Since my stay at Gulf Breeze Recovery, my life is not back to the way it was before my drug use....it's way better Within just a few short months, I was back in good with my family, my friendships were restored, and I'm enjoying my life every moment with a new set of eyes to view my world with See, my addiction was just a symptom of a bigger problem Some people have eating disorders, some people have gambling issues, some people have sex addictions, and some people use their intelligence to demean or criticize others to make themselves temporarily feel better The problem is, just like drug use, these efforts to "cover up" our real issues are only a temporary sense of well being But, the truth to every "so called" addiction is a fundamental misunderstanding of how our brains and bodies work together to create our experience in life Gulf Breeze Recovery helped me to uncover a true sense of well being that has no end, as well as an understanding of life for me that was there the whole time My life will never be the same There's no unknowing what I know now and I am so grateful to their management and staff for helping me find the most important self discovery
